There really isn't a lot you can do to prevent the sale and purchase of a phone that is blacklisted. There are steps you can take as a buyer such as testing the phone, ensuring that you can make incoming and outgoing calls and SMS and to create a data session. The best thing is to ask for a valid proof of purchase or buy from a trusted seller. Use feedback forums to your advantage. Facebook stalk, forum stalk - whatever it takes. (Just kidding.)
